JUMANJI Sequel Adds Karen Gillan

The new Jumanji sequel has cast Karen Gillan (Doctor Who, Guardians of the Galaxy) in a mystery role.

The sequel is being spearheaded by Dwayne Johnson and will also feature Jack Black and Kevin Hart. Further than that plot details are being kept quiet but we do have a release date for the film which is set for July 28, 2017.

Johnson did have some things to say about how the film fits in with the original which starred the late Robin Williams:

“The number one component that’s been my driving force has been the opportunity to introduce ‘Jumanji’ to a whole new generation,” Johnson said in a press release “But in that spirit we want to create a continuing story that feels fresh, cool and global.”
